St. Charles College (Sudbury)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. Charles College is a high school located at 1940 Hawthorne Drive in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. Their motto is "Goodness, Discipline, Knowledge".

The school was established in 1951 by the city's Catholic school board, in conjunction with the Basilian Fathers, as a boys-only school. (Girls attended Marymount College.) The school's original campus was located on Pine Street in the city's west end.

In the early 1980s, enrolment so exceeded the school's capacity that a second campus was launched for Grade 9 students. In 1986, the Catholic and public school boards traded redundant buildings and St. Charles College moved to a new campus in Garson.

In 1993, the boards traded buildings again, and the school moved to its present campus. At that time, the school also became co-educational, admitting female students for the first time.

The school mascot is a cardinal.
